Yes, it breaks links. "Low-level" limits (that is, "depth" or "max size"
limits) breaks links, and there is no workaround yet. The best way is to use
scan rules, which was designed not to break links (at least when using regular
rules, and not "size" rules), and which is generally a more powerful way to
control the mirror scope ("depth" is a very poor way to bound a mirror -
especially when most content is located in "deep" structure, and when you have
many irrelevant content in first levels)
